Serving Advice
Serve the zucchini feta fritters warm with thick yogurt drizzled with olive oil. They work beautifully as an Appetizer, light lunch or Side Dish. A simple tomato and cucumber salad makes a fresh accompaniment.Storage Advice
Allow leftover fritters to cool completely before placing them in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the air fryer at 180°C for a few minutes to restore their crisp exterior. Browse our Store Food recipes for more make-ahead and storage-friendly ideas.Wine Advice
